Local Causal Discovery with Linear non-Gaussian Cyclic Models

1 code implementation21 Mar 2024 Haoyue Dai, Ignavier Ng, Yujia Zheng, Zhengqing Gao, Kun Zhang

Local causal discovery is of great practical significance, as there are often situations where the discovery of the global causal structure is unnecessary, and the interest lies solely on a single target variable.

Causal Representation Learning from Multiple Distributions: A General Setting

no code implementations7 Feb 2024 Kun Zhang, Shaoan Xie, Ignavier Ng, Yujia Zheng

We show that under the sparsity constraint on the recovered graph over the latent variables and suitable sufficient change conditions on the causal influences, interestingly, one can recover the moralized graph of the underlying directed acyclic graph, and the recovered latent variables and their relations are related to the underlying causal model in a specific, nontrivial way.

A Versatile Causal Discovery Framework to Allow Causally-Related Hidden Variables

no code implementations18 Dec 2023 Xinshuai Dong, Biwei Huang, Ignavier Ng, Xiangchen Song, Yujia Zheng, Songyao Jin, Roberto Legaspi, Peter Spirtes, Kun Zhang

Most existing causal discovery methods rely on the assumption of no latent confounders, limiting their applicability in solving real-life problems.

A Comparative Study of AI-Generated (GPT-4) and Human-crafted MCQs in Programming Education

no code implementations5 Dec 2023 Jacob Doughty, Zipiao Wan, Anishka Bompelli, Jubahed Qayum, Taozhi Wang, Juran Zhang, Yujia Zheng, Aidan Doyle, Pragnya Sridhar, Arav Agarwal, Christopher Bogart, Eric Keylor, Can Kultur, Jaromir Savelka, Majd Sakr

While there is a growing body of research in computing education on utilizing large language models (LLMs) in generation and engagement with coding exercises, the use of LLMs for generating programming MCQs has not been extensively explored.

Causal-learn: Causal Discovery in Python

1 code implementation31 Jul 2023 Yujia Zheng, Biwei Huang, Wei Chen, Joseph Ramsey, Mingming Gong, Ruichu Cai, Shohei Shimizu, Peter Spirtes, Kun Zhang

Causal discovery aims at revealing causal relations from observational data, which is a fundamental task in science and engineering.

Partial Identifiability for Domain Adaptation

no code implementations10 Jun 2023 Lingjing Kong, Shaoan Xie, Weiran Yao, Yujia Zheng, Guangyi Chen, Petar Stojanov, Victor Akinwande, Kun Zhang

In general, without further assumptions, the joint distribution of the features and the label is not identifiable in the target domain.

Understanding Breast Cancer Survival: Using Causality and Language Models on Multi-omics Data

no code implementations28 May 2023 Mugariya Farooq, Shahad Hardan, Aigerim Zhumbhayeva, Yujia Zheng, Preslav Nakov, Kun Zhang

The need for more usable and explainable machine learning models in healthcare increases the importance of developing and utilizing causal discovery algorithms, which aim to discover causal relations by analyzing observational data.

Generalized Precision Matrix for Scalable Estimation of Nonparametric Markov Networks

no code implementations19 May 2023 Yujia Zheng, Ignavier Ng, Yewen Fan, Kun Zhang

A Markov network characterizes the conditional independence structure, or Markov property, among a set of random variables.

Whole Page Unbiased Learning to Rank

no code implementations19 Oct 2022 Haitao Mao, Lixin Zou, Yujia Zheng, Jiliang Tang, Xiaokai Chu, Jiashu Zhao, Qian Wang, Dawei Yin

To address the above challenges, we propose a Bias Agnostic whole-page unbiased Learning to rank algorithm, named BAL, to automatically find the user behavior model with causal discovery and mitigate the biases induced by multiple SERP features with no specific design.

On the Identifiability of Nonlinear ICA: Sparsity and Beyond

no code implementations15 Jun 2022 Yujia Zheng, Ignavier Ng, Kun Zhang

We show that under specific instantiations of such constraints, the independent latent sources can be identified from their nonlinear mixtures up to a permutation and a component-wise transformation, thus achieving nontrivial identifiability of nonlinear ICA without auxiliary variables.

Source Free Unsupervised Graph Domain Adaptation

1 code implementation2 Dec 2021 Haitao Mao, Lun Du, Yujia Zheng, Qiang Fu, Zelin Li, Xu Chen, Shi Han, Dongmei Zhang

To address the non-trivial adaptation challenges in this practical scenario, we propose a model-agnostic algorithm called SOGA for domain adaptation to fully exploit the discriminative ability of the source model while preserving the consistency of structural proximity on the target graph.

Learning Elastic Embeddings for Customizing On-Device Recommenders

no code implementations4 Jun 2021 Tong Chen, Hongzhi Yin, Yujia Zheng, Zi Huang, Yang Wang, Meng Wang

The core idea is to compose elastic embeddings for each item, where an elastic embedding is the concatenation of a set of embedding blocks that are carefully chosen by an automated search function.

Cold-start Sequential Recommendation via Meta Learner

no code implementations10 Dec 2020 Yujia Zheng, Siyi Liu, Zekun Li, Shu Wu

As there is generally no side information in the setting of sequential recommendation task, previous cold-start methods could not be applied when only user-item interactions are available.
